Reading Eggs and Mathseeds~

ALL the kids are doing Reading Eggs and with a renewal right now,
you get a year of Mathseeds as well~

I am teaching the bitty girls so many new skills from mastering the Macbook finger pad
to the new apple mouse we just ordered as well as reading/math skills.
Evie really loves this new experience and is doing awesome!!!

Bible & Technology~

You might gasp when I say my kiddos get bored with the same old Bible reading all the time.

I've been using God's Love for You

and I LOVE it but sometimes we just have to change it up.

We've had these Bible DVDs for a long time

(think I may have bought them @ Lifeway)

and pulled them out this week for our Bible time~

Everyone was very attentive...

There is a scripture, a story, and a song.

We each took our journals and I wrote the scripture for them then

they drew a picture...

had the bigger girls write what it meant to them.

Evie also asked if I would read from

My Great Big God... love it because it rhymes!!!

As for technology...

I tread a fine line when it comes to computers, Ipads, Ipods, and tv.

How much is too much?

Should they be doing it at all?

When and what?

I have found it best used as a gift for tasks completed well.

Today everyone finished all their school work in good time

with little playing around so~

 Technology was gifted for about 30 mins before lunch

(school games only of course)!

And THIS is what the bitty girls' idea of playtime after school~

{Let's see if we can pull every single thing out we have

and cover the whole floor so our clean up time will last

a very long time!}

All that matters is that they were having FUN, right?
